So, I see a word today and realize Ive heard it a hundred times and dont know the meaning. What word, you say? Scaramouch. I make a mental note to look it up. But later in the evening, I see it AGAIN! Now, I immediately look it up, as a rare word such as this does not usually occur twice in one evenings reading.

He entertains the audience by his grimaces and affected language. So now we know.
